<br />~ Mayor Miller opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />Jim Saul, 2780 Illinois Street, identified himself as a member of the SDC <br />Task Force and spoke in favor of the proposed ordinance. He commented on the <br />complicated nature of this issue and thanked the council for involving the <br />community in a task force review. He noted that the draft ordinance reflects <br />task force consensus and urged the council to approve the proposal. Mr. Saul <br />also commented on the high-quality staff work that was involved throughout <br />this issue. <br /> <br />Sue Prichard, 2671 Emerald Street, identified herself as a commercial real <br />estate broker and spoke in favor of the ordinance. She echoed Mr. Saul's <br />comments with respect to the quality of the staff work involved. She said <br />she is confident that the methodology used to calculate SDC charges is fair <br />and appropriate for the commercial brokerage community and described this as <br />a perfect example of how a community task force can work in everybody's fa- <br />vor. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Bob Tate, 3130 Willakenzie Drive, noted that he served on the task force as a <br />representative of the Home Builders Association and spoke in favor of the <br />ordinance. He said that the task force represented a broad range of perspec- <br />tives in the community and expressed appreciation for the opportunity to <br />become involved in the process at the beginning. He said that the Home <br />Builders Association fully supports the proposal that has been established. <br /> <br />Douglas Moorehead, 1460 Flintridge Drive, testified against the proposal. He <br />expressed his frustration with the process that was followed to create the <br />proposal and noted that the procedural methodology that will be used to cal- <br />culate SDCs is confusing. He noted that as a developer, the recommended <br />rate increases will result in SDC increases greater than 100 percent for his <br />project. Regarding the criterion that SDCs be equivalent with other communi- <br />ties in the state, Mr. Moorehead emphasized that Eugene is economically dif- <br />ferent from Portland and said that local developers cannot afford to compete <br />under the same SDC rates. He urged denial of the proposal. <br /> <br />Mayor Miller indicated that a letter in support of the ordinance was received <br />from the Chamber of Commerce. <br /> <br />There being no additional requests to speak, the public hearing was closed. <br /> <br />CB 4307--An ordinance regarding systems development charges; <br />amending Sections 7.010 and 7.065 of the Eugene Code, <br />1971; adding Sections 7.407 and 7.700 through 7.740 <br />to that code; repealing Sections 7.275 through 7.285, <br />7.245 and subparagraph 7.174(2){b)5d of that code; <br />and declaring an emergency. <br /> <br />Mr. Boles moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, that the bill, with <br />unanimous consent of the council, be read the second time by <br />council bill number only, and that enactment be considered at <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council <br /> <br />May 13, 1991 <br /> <br />Page 8 <br />
